Pyramids

The word pyramid is composed of the Greek word "pyra" meaning fire, light, or visible and the Greek word "midos" meaning measures. "Pyramid" immediately brings to mind the three great Egyptian pyramids at Giza. There are others, of course, in the western hemisphere and China and other places, but none as impressive as these. The Great Pyramid of Giza has been called "the center of measurement and enlightment (knowledge)" for centuries.

The noun PYRAMID has 3 senses:

1. a polyhedron having a polygonal base and triangular sides with a common vertex;

2. (stock market) a series of transactions in which the speculator increases his holdings by using the rising market value of those holdings as margin for further purchases;

3. a massive monument with a square base and four triangular sides.

The Egyptian pyramids are still a marvel of physics, architecture and brute strength. Built during a time when Egypt was one of the richest and most powerful civilizations in the world, the pyramids?especially the Great Pyramids of Giza?are some of the most magnificent man-made structures in history. The ancient Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for the pharaohs and their queens, which became the focus of a cult of the dead king that was supposed to continue well after his death. More than 4,000 years later, the Egyptian pyramids still retain much of their majesty, providing a glimpse into the country's rich and glorious past.

Perhaps this magnificence has been the reason for the initial attraction to the pyramids by occultists trying to explain how these ancient structures have been commonly used in occult lore to work with dates and calendars. On this planet and throughout the cosmos, the pyramid structure is utilized to represent a great unity of consciousness. It is the structure of perfection that gathers energy from earth and sends it outward. Energy collects in angles, in shapes, and in forms, and you can learn to create these shapes and live in and around them. Energies are formed and transmitted in this way."
